Glentham Life Sciences has become a major catalogue and semi-bulk supplier of chitosan, chitin and chitosan derivatives supplying gram quantities up to hundreds of kilograms, to customers located around the world.

Our focus is on supplying universities, pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies, and to the agricutural and food industries. Our products rival the quality of medical grade chitosan products, but are available at a much lower cost with complete flexibility on packaging and quantities.

The majority of the chitosan products that we sell currently originate from shrimp. The raw materials are extracted from the outer shells and refined to provide a wide range of high quality products, with a variety of different molecular weights.

As our chitosan sales have continued to grow, we have noticed an increasing demand for chitosan and chitin products from alternative, non-animal sources. We are now pleased to introduce a complete range of non-animal chitosan and chitin products, which have been extracted from fungi:
